to 0.5 km or miles and CHRONOGRAPH second hand indicates 90

on tachymeter scale:

90 (tachymeter scale figure) x 2 (km or mile) = 180 km/h or mph

90 (tachymeter scale figure) x 0.5 (km or mile) = 45 km/h or mph

the average number of jobs accomplished per hour.

Ex. 2: If 15 jobs are completed in 20 seconds:

180 (tachymeter scale figure) x 15 jobs = 2700 jobs/hour

TIME SETTING
l If the crown is pulled out to the second click while the chronograph is counting, the
CHRONOGRAPH hands will continue to move. This is not a malfunction.
[24-HOUR SETTING]
l The 24-hour hand moves correspondingly with the hour hand.
l When setting the hour hand, check that the 24-hour hand is correctly set.
l When setting the minute hand, first advance it 4 to 5 minute ahead of the desired
time and then turn it back to the exact minute.

CALENDAR SETTING
l It is necessary to adjust the date on the first day after a 30-day month and February.
l Do not set the date between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m, as this will cause a malfunc-

TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH

English

NOTE:
Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as corresponding to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends to
increase the pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken on diving into water.

TEMPERATURES
Your watch works with
stable accuracy within a
temperature range of 5C
and 35C (41 F and 95
F).
Temperatures over 50C (122F) may

cause battery leakage or shorten the

battery life. Do not leave your watch
in very low temperatures below 5C
(+23F) for a long time since the cold
may cause a slight time loss or gain.
However, the above conditions will
be corrected when the watch returns
to normal temperature.

* Before using the water resistance 5, 10, 15 or 20 bar watch in water, be sure the
crown is pushed in completely.
Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or in water. If used in sea water,
rinse the watch in fresh water and dry it completely.
* When taking a shower with the water resistance 5 bar watch, or taking a bath with
the water resistance 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, be sure to observe the following:
Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet with soapy water or shampoo.
If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may be caused. This
condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature.
